What's Hiding Under Your Bed?

There can be more than just monsters hiding under your bed. This place often gets overlooked when it comes to cleaning because it is often hard to access. A different array of materials can get stuck under here including, dust, dirt, fibers, hair and other particles.

 If this area isn't clean it can cause allergy irritations and can house pests. Thankfully you only have to clean under your bed every six months. There are also general cleaning techniques you can use to get rid of the dirt.

The easiest way to do a light cleaning is to use a vacuum with an extension piece. This lets you reach far under and get to the dirt.

If you don't have a vacuum handy try to sweep under the bed with a broom. This allows you to get some of the dirt out but is less effective than using a vacuum cleaner.

A basic way to get rid of dirt under the bed is to use a floor cloth or mop. To lightly disinfect and keep dust levels down you should use a bucket of cleaning water and a floor cloth or mop. The wet cloth will capture dust and fibers.

Colour Your furniture In Style

It's a great idea to customize your furniture with your favorite colors. Having a color scheme for furniture can help with interior decorating and has additional benefits.

Most people decorate their home with their favorite color. This can be minimal or used for most of the items. In Breaking Bad, Skyler's sister Marie wear her favorite color of deep purple frequently and decorates her home with the same color.

If you don't have a big choice with color most people choose to a favorite armchair to be in the style they want. This customizes the furniture so you can really make it your own.

Aside from favorite colors most people generally choose a color scheme of three to four colors. So if a couch or other item comes in several colors you can choose the one that fits with your home.

A color scheme brings unity and elegance to an environment. It provides fewer distractions and brings the environment together to look more organized. Mismatched furniture tends to look and make a room look disorganized and unprofessional.

You can also decorate rugs, carpets, blankets and more to match the interior decorating. This organizing makes your home and environment tranquil and pleasant to look at.

Couch Maintenance Without Chemicals

We want to protect our furniture but without a lengthy time-consuming process. Often we don't have enough time for a big cleaning. Thankfully there are simple and fast ways to maintain your couch and other furniture without the use of chemicals.

The easiest way to protect a couch is to cover it. Many people use blankets to drape over the couch. This does protect against of the dust and dirt. However, there are still some areas exposed. This method is adequate because it is always easier to wash a blanket or shake it outside versus having to clean a large piece of furniture.

You can buy actual furniture covers that aligned with the shape of the couch or other furniture. This is method is used more for waiting rooms that have frequent visitors. When the furniture covers get dirty they can easily be replaced. You can also choose just to get coverings for the armrests or the back of the couch.  

Your couch still requires annual cleaning. Dust and dirt do penetrate the material and can accumulate dust mites. This, in turn, can produce allergy symptoms like asthma. Food particles can also settle and attract mold. You only need to deep clean the furniture with steam cleaning once a year.
